Travel costs in the project Understanding the drivers and species ecological traits underpinning the global trade in wild birds

Application summary

In my first year of the PhD, I will be visiting BirdLife International in Cambridge, UK to discuss my work and to find potential collaborations. They work globally on halting the illegal trade and killing of birds thus discussing with several people there will be important for increasing the impact of my research. With and extra travel budget of 500 euros, I will be able to do this travel on land, thus being able to travel with less climate impact. It is impossible to make the travel completely carbon neutral as using boats, buses and trains will also have emissions.
